Note 5 – SMOM |  |  | 3,000,000 |  |  |  | — |

|  | $ | 27,363,442 |  |  | $ | 25,067,308 |
Summary of Fair Value of Debt | The fair value of the new debt is as follows:
Monaco loans |  | Loan one |
Forward cash flows: |  |  |  |
Principal |  | $ | 2,800,000 |
Interest |  |  | 559,463 |
Total forward cash flows |  | $ | 3,359,463 |
Present value of forward cash flows |  | $ | 2,554,371 |
Fair value of equity conversion option |  |  | 1,063,487 |
Fair value of debt |  | $ | 3,617,858 |
Summary of Debt Premium |
Monaco loans |  | Loan one |
Forward cash flows: |  |  |  |
Face value |  | $ | 2,800,000 |
Fair value |  |  | 3,617,858 |
Difference (premium)* |  | $ | 817,858 |
* | ASC 470-20-25-13 provides that if a convertible debt instrument is issued at a substantial premium, there is a presumption that such premium represents paid in capital. Since the total face amount of the new loans is $2,800,000, we conclude that the $817,858 was substantial and recorded that premium to additional paid-in capital.
Summary of Gain or Loss Upon Extinguishment Allocation | The allocation is as follows:
|  | Allocation |
Derivative liabilities (share purchase options) |  | $ | 1,456,825 |
Monaco Loan (Old Debt) |  |  | 3,372,844 |
Monaco Loan (New Debt) |  |  | (2,800,000 | )
APIC (Premium) |  |  | (817,858 | )
Difference to APIC* |  | $ | 1,211,811 |
* | The difference between the fair value of the new debt and the sum of the pre-modification carrying amount of the old debt and the share purchase option’s fair value represented a gain on extinguishment. ASC 470-50-40-2 indicates that debt restructuring with a related party may be in essence a capital transaction and as a result the gain upon extinguishment was recognized in additional paid in capital.
